FL SynthMaker Effects

May, 2012

FL SynthMaker can be used to make synth plugins, effects and dashboards (to control external gear). There's also plenty of pre-made plugins waiting to be used. This tutorial shows how to create ring modulator and echo/delay effects.

FL SynthMaker is included FREE in FL Studio Producer edition and higher

Tip: To learn SynthMaker it's a good idea to start with some simple projects that recreate something you already know well. For example, a 2 oscillator synth. What do you know about synths? So they have Oscillators - Envelopes - Filters - Output. Then all you need to do is find those modules in SynthMaker and link them together, done!

Making a basic synth will be the subject of our next tutorial.

Enjoy.

Linear Phase EQ in FL Studio

February, 2012

Linear Phase EQ (LP EQ) is often used by mastering engineers who want to make transparent EQ changes and sometimes in plugins that need to split the frequency spectrum into bands for processing (such as Multi-band compressors) to avoid phase effects on recombination of the split parts. The Guru shows us two LP EQ options for FL Studio:

Linear Phase EQ Options in FL Studio

The advantage of LP EQ is transparency as phase distortion can smear transients and make some audio sound a little different. Generally LP EQ isn't used for day-to-day music production as it introduces significant latency and can produce 'ringing' effects on very abrupt filter cut points. However, for the times when you need it, nice to know where to go.
